The transition has begun!!

So...I'm 34. I've always been a jeans/sweats and t-shirt guy. I wear khakis and polos to work (teacher). All of my t-shirts are sports or rock concert related. In short...I still look like I did in college, and I'm ready to look more my age.

We have a Burlington Coat Factory nearby, and I stopped in there to look for a fall coat. Mine is a lined pull-over with my school's logo on it. Fine for school, not okay if I'm going out with my wife. Well...I found a sweet Calvin Klein wool coat......but then landed 2 black Perry Ellis pants, 1 gray pair of CK pants, 2 Perry Ellis button-downs, 1 CK button-down, 1 Kenneth Cole button-down, and a pair of DKNY jeans.............all for $220 (including the coat). First time I've been there...may be my new favorite store

Anyway...my transition plan is to start wearing button-downs at school...polos for casual wear...and my sweats/tees for lounging around my house. The new and improved Teach13 is on its way!!

Congratulations! Any wardrobe is becoming, not just more elegant, but also more interesting and diversified after branching out into this particular style. May I also take the liberty to suggest, as an additional brand, as I did on another similar thread, Land's End? They are reasonably, moderately priced for good quality and classic style, especially when it comes to button-down shirts, polos and formal and semi-formal trousers.

Congratulations. I have also purchased some fantastic buys at Burlington Coat Factory. You should go there for the after Holidays sale. You can pick up some quality made shirt, etc. at very reasonable prices.
